| Synopsis:
The chase begins -- again! Oscar-winner Tommy Lee Jones ("Men in Black," "Batman Forever"), Wesley Snipes ("Passenger 57," "White Men Can't Jump"), and Robert Downey Jr. ("Natural Born Killers," "Chaplin") star in this thriller that reprises Jones' Oscar-winning role in "The Fugitive" as Investigator Sam Gerard. This time he and his original crack team are out to capture a ruthless and mysterious assassin who's on the run while trying to discover who implicated him in two murders in New York City. The highly anticipated sequel to the seven-time Oscar-nominated boxoffice smash, "The Fugitive". Co-starring Oscar-nominee Kate Nelligan ("The Prince of Tides") and award-winning French actress Irene Jacob ("The Double Life of Veronique"). |

More than a decade on, The Fugitive holds up surprisingly well, managing to neatly avoid the usual pitfalls of TV-series-to-movie crossovers by opting to tell a single self-contained story rather than trying to set up a new franchise. Thus Harrison Ford's Richard Kimble doesn't go on the road helping strangers resolve their problems because he's too busy trying to evade capture, prove his innocence and catch his wife's killer, making for an entirely satisfying manhunt thriller that stands on its own merits. Chief among them is Tommy Lee Jones, taking over from a dying Richard Jordan and walking off with the movie as his dogged pursuer, getting all the best lines and effortlessly outshining the film's star.
Structurally the follow-up, U.S. Marshals, is a reworking of the original, fulfilling the classic sequel brief of "the same but different": the producers substitute an incredibly impressive plane crash for the incredibly impressive train crash, a fall from a tall building for a fall from a dam and government defense secrets for drugs trials while throwing in the same plot device of an ally who turns out to be an enemy. The main difference here is no Harrison Ford, more Tommy Lee Jones and added Wesley Snipes (presumably on the run from the taxman) and Robert Downey Jr. (who really should have kept the sunglasses on until he finished rehab). There are no surprises, it's somewhat overlong and you won't remember it a day later, but it's energetically directed by Stuart Baird and superbly edited by Terry Rawlings and does its job effectively enough while you're watching it.
